What I'm Reading 01/25/2010

I finished Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test earlier this month and our book club met for it's 4th meeting this past Friday night. It was awesome. Even with the new members we've added our group is really fun. We ate sushi @ Sukura and then headed to Annie Bailey's after. I've got to say, good wine, good books, good friends, & good conversation, what more is there?

Reflections on Kool-Aid Acid Test

(1) Don't really agree with their message, but I love this whole idea of a group coming together, being part of a larger purpose and being committed to each other. I can embrace that.

(2) My 2 favorite characters were Sandy & Faye. But I think it's because I don't know enough about them. I think of Faye as this quiet strength in the group. I really wish Tom Wolfe had gone more into detail about Sandy.

(3) You know, I'll always be on the bus... :-)

I'm almost finished with Trail Fever. I really like Michael Lewis. I know he's a liberal atheist journalist. But I still really like his books. Moneyball is one of my top 5. Trail Fever is fascinating. I feel like I know so much more about specific politicians because I've been given this behind the scenes look.

We're reading In A Pit With A Lion On A Snow Day with The Living Room and I'm really feeling that. Simple, but meaningful. I recommend it. I'm on chapter 5.
